In this chilling installment of Oy with the Terror, we head to Long Island to unearth one of the most haunting true crime cases in recent history: the Gilgo Beach Murders.
When the body of Shannan Gilbert was reported missing in 2010, no one could have predicted the horror that would unfold. As authorities searched the desolate stretch of Ocean Parkway, they uncovered the remains of multiple women—most of them young sex workers—buried in burlap, eerily close together.
Join us as Danielle delves into the twisted timeline, the victims’ stories, the long-stalled investigation, and the arrest of Rex Heuermann, the alleged Long Island Serial Killer. From mysterious 911 calls to burner phones and bungled police leads, this episode digs into what really happened on that lonely beach—and why so many questions remain unanswered.
Then, Sandra talks about the classic American folklore, the Boogeyman. However, there are various other folklore creatures similar to the Boogeyman worldwide. Often described as a shape-shifting entity, the Bogeyman is usually described as having claws or talons and sharp teeth. The Bogeyman is best known for being a tale to tell children to get them to behave because the Bogeyman steals children.
